Grant Activity:
Assessing climatic constraints on a biological control agent with genomics
Purpose:
This project aims to investigate the capacity of a native subtropical parasitoid wasp, Diachasmimorpha kraussii, to act as a biological control agent of Queensland fruit fly in different climatic areas. This project is expected to generate new knowledge on climatic adaptation in D. kraussii from genomic data, informing the use of this agent for managing Queensland fruit fly in temperate regions of Australia. This project aims to use D. krausii as a model to develop a transformative genomics framework for sourcing, releasing, and monitoring biological control agents. This project will contribute to safeguarding Australia’s horticulture industry by supporting sustainable and eco-friendly pest management.
